Winter Projects?

[Sandcrab]

What's everyone building this Winter? I have 3 rods on my plate - 2 All Star 1265's built as spinners and 1 St Croix 7' pitchin stick built as conventional...

Getting ready to order my supplies as we speak...I may add ANOTHER All Star 1508 in the mix as a spinner...

I've got a couple small Lami's, one casting to be donated to auction for Isaac.

The other a spinner for the better half.

I think you might find it difficult to find those blanks in All Star . . . The reserve stock of wholesalers has pretty well dried up and builders who have them are holding on to them.

I am building a Rainshadow 1569 for spinning with Fuji Lowriders. That's probably the only rod I'm going to build off season. I will be building a lot of balsa baitbugs and mullet rigs though. Here's my last batch.

Just finishing a Rainshadow 1418, re-building a 1509 and a lami 136, got a Rainshadow 967 & 70MH next, then 4 Nail's and an Inferno to do after that. Guess my 10wt will have to wait. :)

We have already poured a almost 200 8oz tongue sinkers using Joe's new mould from Shawn Collins, and poured an additonal 50 8oz, and 30 10oz, pyramid sinkers using my mould. Also poured some big 28oz mojos using my mould.

Taking down the reels one at a time and servicing them.

Need to replace hook on a bunch of lures.

Sounds like everyone is busy!

SS - I have the All Star blanks in hand as we speak. Now finding another 1508 blank may be a problem...

Sweet bait plugs!
